Wishing does feel useless at times...War brings with it its awful constants. Nobody should have to experience it.

Hope you feel better soon.The cost of medical aids is prohibitive ....a health insurance is some relief.
Physical punishment of any sort is forbidden in schools now. I have not seen the war you talk of but your poem creates a image of all that it leads to..... affecting people's lives in so many ways.

So sorry you have miseries to bear.
I guess that happens everywhere,
But when the pains are personal
It does seem quite unmerciful!
Hang In There!

These days hearing aids are minicomputers focused on a
single task - and they do cost a small fortune. The Beltone rep. is trying to sell me an updated model (I've had these for over 5 years now) but my share of the bill after the insurance pays its portion is at least a couple thousand. I think I'll hang on to these as long as possible. I hope your fibromyalgia improves - no doubt you've gotten your hands thoroughly chilled many times working outdoors with your plantings - and this probably contributed to the misery.

Imagine if a teacher dared to take a ruler or a cane to a child today!!!! I never did aree with teachers hitting a child but I did used to smack the legs of my little boys when I had endured enough.

Good Afternoon
I have never believed that teachers should lay a hand on a student. There are so many reasons why I feel this way. I will never believe it teaches children right from wrong. I think it hurts their feelings and leads to some very aggressive behavior at times.

I hope you start to feel better soon. It's no fun when you don't feel good. I think maybe some rest and relaxation will do wonders for you. Don't forget to drink water. You don't want to get dehydrated. Oh and stay covered up when you are resting so you don't get a chill.

Good afternoon
Those many smacks in the classroom from the ruler are quite possibly the precursor to many an aged hand today.
